Radiation detector having pixelated anode strip-electrodes

Abstract:

A radiation detection system is provided. The radiation detection system includes a radiation detector. The radiation detector includes a semiconductor layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, a monolithic cathode disposed on the first surface, and multiple pixelated anode strip-electrodes disposed on the second surface in a coplanar arrangement. The multiple pixelated anode strip-electrodes include a first set of pixelated anode strip-electrodes disposed along a first direction and a second set of pixelated anode strip-electrodes disposed along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Each pixelated anode strip-electrode of the first set of pixelated anode strip-electrodes includes a first respective multiple segments disposed along the first direction. Each pixelated anode strip-electrode of the second set of pixelated anode strip-electrodes includes a second respective multiple segments disposed along the second direction.
